‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Information/Idea Movement‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
Angola, like us, uses mail and newspapers communicate, but unlike us, they have people deliver it by foot. Sometimes they would give it to people at the mail service but they have very few cars and vehicles in general. To get mail to other countries, they would use planes, but it would take
a while for it to go through.
